similar to: Samaba 2.2.7 and windows printer driver woes

So SAMBA no longer supports print driver downloads. That is about the only conclusion that I can come to at this point. I've not been able to get Windows printer driver downloads to work right since Samba 2.2.2. No one but printer admins displays the correct settings for printers, everyone else gets the original printer defaults that they cannot change. I've tried this with

... When I install the W2K drivers and set the options for each printer, only users in the printer admin group see the customized settings. Normal users only see the default settings that the driver originally installed, not the ones I edited (such as duplex installed, additional papertrays and output trays, and paper/tray assignment.) The normal users are also unable to alter these

Greetings, All, To start off, I think everyone has done a WONDERFUL job with Samba, and I'd enjoy my job much less with out it. A remarkable effort from everyone that has contributed to the effort. Now I will contribute my printing problems. I have Samba 2.2.3a running on top of Sun Solaris 8 and I have been seeing a number of printing related problems. From what I am seeing on the

I have Samba 2.2.6 complied against Cups 1.1.16 on a Sparc system running Solaris 9. Cups has replaced the stock system V lp spooler on this system (original packages removed.) Cups working from UNIX command line is A-OK. I have been working on setting up Samba to play nice with cups. I have followed the instructions from both the Cups and Samba websites to set up downloading of the

Greetings, Similar to the other CUPS thread, but not the same. Samba 2.2.5 built on a Sparc Solaris 9 box with Cups 1.1.5. I've set up Samba to print with Cups as outlined in the docs. I am able to download the generic Adobe print driver to my Windows 2000 clients but the Windows 98 clients are asking for a local driver to be installed. Looking at verbose output from cupsaddsmb,

Greetings and Happy New Year, My samba print server is still running 2.2.2 and I've not been able to upgrade it past that point. I have not been able to get the printer drivers to behave properly in ANY later version. Currently I am testing Samba 2.2.7 running under Solaris 9. I have been using HP Laserjet 4000 and 8150 postscript drivers in my testing. I am seeing two distinct

Greetings, I have Samba 4.4.7 running on several Sparc boxes running Solaris 9 as member servers in an Active Directory environment. (I do not control the AD configuration) I am able to connect to the servers using windows clients and smbclient - the problem I have run into is when I try to add domain users to local groups on the Samba servers I am told the users do not exist. As these

Greetings, My odd question for the week - I've been unable to figure out if/how to do this. Given an Active Directory user ID, is there a way to get the user's real name? During testing of our Samba AD member servers I have seen user's given names appearing in the log files - is there a way that I can pull that for my own use? Our site uses loginIDs for users that give no clue

Greetings, all I seem to run across more interesting issues with printing... Anyhow, by Samba (2.2.3a) print server (Sun Solaris 8) somehow forgot about all of its printer drivers. I went through the process of re-loading them from a Windows 2000 client machine using drivers downloaded fromn HP for all but our laserjet 4 printers. I was able to install the Windows 2000 drivers OK, but

Greetings, No helpful hints have been offered to my winbind issues with Samba 3.4.9 and Solaris 9 I started trying to build Samba 3.5.6. Using gcc 3.4.6. I added "-lintl" to the LIBS option in the Makefile which cleared some earlier linker errors involving libintl_gettext, libintl_textdomain and libintl_bindtextdomain being undefined, except with winbind: Linking shared library

Yes, I know that version is obsolete and as soon as I can actually get the later versions of Samba to run and behave on my Solaris 10 boxes i will upgrade. AD member servers. Using rid to map UID numbers as not available from our AD folks. Two of the machines are going on their merry own way rather than creating the same UID numbers for AD users that other samba servers are using. On two

Greetings, Still no progress trying to get Samba 3.5.6 built on Solaris 10, using gcc 3.4.6. Maybe fresh eyes will see something? Been having issues building samba since 3.4.9 (and anything greater than 3.2.15 on Solaris 9 where samba will build, but winbind will not work properly for user authentication.) techops$ make Using CFLAGS = -I/opt/local/kerberos5/include -O -I.

Greetings, I have an elderly installation of Samba 3.5.8 running on 10 Sparc servers (and 3.5.12 on Solaris 9 servers with the same issue) set up as Active Directory member servers. Since we've laid-off everyone else around here I have not had the opportunity to update the Samba installation - and have not needed to as it has been very solid. Suddenly last Friday the Samba servers

Greetings, I've been reading and re-reading "Chapter 12. Group Mapping: MS Windows and UNIX", Mailing list messages with the subjects "valid users = +group doesn't work" and "Unix ADS group membership or vice versa" and all I've gotten is more confused. I have to move my samba servers from a Samba PDC environment to Active Directory (AD) where they will

Hello We have a problem with Samba on AIX and clients running on Windows 2000. We have implemented printer support as described in the document 'Printing Support in Samba 2.2.x'. Environment: AIX 4.3.3 & AIX 4.2.1 with Samba 2.2.4, 2.2.5, 2.2.6 pre 2, Windows 2000 SP 3. Problem: Printer properties is not available to end users (eg. available RAM etc.). When configuring the printer

Greetings, I have been working on getting Samba 3.0.20rc2 on a Sun Solaris box to play nice with our institution's Active Directory (AD) environment. The AD set-up is pretty plain and I have no ability to make changes to its configuration - a different department runs that show. Should I be able to store the roaming profile information on my Samba server in an AD environment? The rest

Greetings, I hope someone can tell me if what I want to do is possible with Samba or not. I have been searching for info and found a number of people with similar problems, but not an answer. I have a Samba server (3.2.4) running on a Solaris 10 machine which is a member server in Active Directory (AD). I am using winbind. The AD users can access the samba server shares and UNIX services.

Greetings, Still trying to get Samba 3.0.15pre2 built on a Solaris 9 box with PAM support. I am using gcc 3.3.2 and I have openldap-2.2.24, krb5-1.4, and Cyrus SASL 2.1.20 installed. I have found other posting by people with problems building on Solaris as well as asking about the "_pam_macros.h" file that seems to be missing on Solaris. Posting about problems, but not with
